FAQs

Honda Frequently Asked Questions

Read the frequently asked questions for Honda products.

Shaft Length:How do I measure?

If mounting directly to a boat transom: Measure from the top of the transom down to the bottom of the hull or keel (lowest point). Measure the area of the transom directly where the engine will be mounted. See diagram below.

If using an auxiliary mounting bracket: With the bracket in the down position, measure from the top of the bracket's mounting surface down to the bottom of the hull or keel (where engine is to be mounted). Tip: For most auxiliary applications, it is possible to use a longer shaft length than what is called for, provided there is sufficient clearance when the engine is in the up position. This can be especially useful in heavy seas.

If measuring an existing outboard: Measure from the inside top of mounting bracket down to anti-cavitation plate above propeller (this is the largest plate/fin directly above the propeller). See diagram below as an example.

Yes. If necessary, your outboard can be laid on its side but it must be laid on the proper side. Your outboard includes a picture (decal) on the engine itself indicating which direction the engine can be laid. Please see Owner's Manual for additional information on transporting and storage of your outboard.

Lower Unit Oil:Does the lower unit come pre-filled with oil?

Yes. The lower unit gear oil is pre-filled by the factory, however, you should check to ensure proper level before first use. For additional information, see your Owner's Manual.

Remote Models:What is a "remote control" model outboard?

A "remote control" outboard is one that is equipped with remote throttle, shift and steering controls. This allows the user to operate the outboard from a remote location in relation to the engine (throttle/shift and/or steering).

Break-In: What's the break-in procedure for my new outboard?

The break-in procedure is included in your Owner's Manual. Correct operation during the break-in period will prolong the life of your new outboard and will ensure optimum performance. Break-in consists of maintaining lower RPM levels and varying the RPM's for the first 10 hours of use. Break-in should be done under a load (on your boat, not at home in a container of water).

First Use:What do I need to do before using my new outboard?

Engine oil must be added prior to use. The engine oil is drained by the factory prior to shipping. When your new outboard arrives, you simply add engine oil (amount and type are shown on page 1 of manual). The lower unit gear lube is pre-filled from the factory. No assembly is required. Even the propeller is pre-installed for your convenience.

If you have purchase an electric start model, your outboard will include battery leads pre-installed from the factory (battery not included). You simply connect the battery leads to your battery.

Read the Owner's Manual carefully prior to operation. The owner's manual contains important information regarding the break-in period, safety and proper use of your outboard engine.

Tracking Info:How is tracking information provided?

Tracking information is provided via email, typically within 24-48 hours of your order being processed. The tracking information will be located on your final receipt/invoice.

Freight Damage:What do I do if my outboard arrives damaged?

Our outboards are very well packaged from the factory and very rarely receive damage during transit. Less than 2% of our outboards receive damage during transit. All outboards are fully insured. If your outboard has received severe damage (engine is visibly exposed from packaging) refuse the package and contact us immediately. If your engine has received minor damage (such as a crack in cowling or other minor damage) you may accept shipment (if you wish) and contact us immediately to receive a replacement of the damaged part and/or file a claim with the carrier. Retain all packaging even if damaged.

IMPORTANT: If the box exterior appears to be damaged, make note of box condition when signing for the package. It is not uncommon for a box to have some exterior damage. This is normal. However, making a note of box condition will allow us to file a damage claim if hidden damage is found within 48 hours of receipt.

Yes. All orders that are picked up at our location or shipped inside TN are subject to 9.75% sales tax.

Trade-Ins:Do you accept trade-ins?

No. Unfortunately, we do not accept trade-ins outside of our own local market. Due to shipping costs, long distance trades prove to be cost prohibitive. Selling your engine outright will generally yield higher returns and there is no wasted shipping cost.

Used/Non-Current:Do you sell used or non-current outboards?

No. We sell only brand new current model outboards. On rare occasion we may have a non-current during a model year change, if this was the case, a sale would be clearly posted on our home page.
